It has been an embarrassingly long time since I updated my blog…
So…Not getting the job stunk. Before I got the news I vacillated between overwhelming confidence that I was a shoe-in and self-deprecating assurance that I would not get the job. It was still shocking when I found out that I didn’t get it. On top of that, I learned through the gossip mill and the hire had not been officially announced, so I had to tap dance around for awhile. Seeing her now in the position, I know she was the perfect fit for the job. We are extremely different personalities and hers fits what they were looking for. There are positive and negatives to that and while I am working there through out the summer, I am focusing on the positives.
I am waiting to hear on the Rep position. When they confirmed receipt of my materials they said it would be several weeks, but now a month later…I am getting impatient. My contract is due for Marquette and I don’t want to go back if I don’t have to, but…
We have officially started trying to get pregnant . I have wanted to start trying for at least a year. DH has continued to hedge, side step and excuse his way around it. He has always had money, time excuse. Legitimate, but not a strong enough argument for where we were at. It has caused our marriage a lot of heartache and some resentment on both sides. Last month while I was in Phoenix, he decided he was ready. After all of this, he just wasn’t ready and couldn’t say that . We’re over it and one month into trying.
I am feeling really intense about it though because I have waited not-so-patiently for so long I want it immediately. I know I have to relax, but…God it is hard. I completely missed ovulation this month…I have been stressed about finishing my masters that I had some wacky months and this month re-regulated, but I missed it *sigh* DH has been running his butt off though because the first years don’t take call in July, but the third years stay on second call, so… the three second years are responsible for all of the call this month. Not the best circumstances for conceiving.
Along those lines, DH has relaxed considerably :@ . He is becoming more like the man I married and less like the thing I was issued intern year. There is still a ways to go, but he is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and that has had a wonderful effect on his coping mechanism.
We are fighting the school district to get James in the deaf and hard of hearing school for the fall . The school is in the Milwaukee district and we live in a suburb district that doesn’t have such a school. They are trying to sell their program and not really holding doors open to get him into the school. We are in the process of finding a child advocate to help grease the wheels. I may reserve the bus to come regulate on the special ed director…(insert busicon here)
